Unbelievable but college football actually starts this weekend with a limited slate. Not a great lineup but after watching preseason football, it's great to watch some games that count.
Austin Peay at Western Kentucky 12:00 CBSSN
for those who want to tune in for the first game of the year
Game of the Week
Nebraska vs Northwestern from Dublin Ireland 12:30 FOX Neb -13.5
it's a big spread so it may not be close but it's still the only conference matchup of the week. This could be the last chance for coach Scott Frost at Nebraska. Nebraska will be staring Texas transfer Casey Thompson at QB. Neb has new OC Mark Whipple who was Kenny Pickett's QB coach last year at Pitt and also previously coached for the Steelers. Thompson has talent and actually led the Big 12 in TD passes last year.
Wyoming at Illinois 4:00 BTN Illinois -10.5
Brett Bielema, a convicted felon in the offseason, has been slowly building up Illinois after the horrible job that Lovie Smith did. Naturally Smith was rewarded with the head gig with the Houston Texans.
Duquesne at Florida State 5:00 ACCN
pretty strange matchup. Wonder if FSU had a replace a team on their schedule and found Duquesne.
Vanderbilt at Hawaii 10:30 CBSSN Vandy -8.5
vandy favored but that's a long road trip. They better not get distracted by the sights or it will be an even longer flight home.
